The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and his Deputy, Dennis Idahosa, on their victory at the Court of Appeal.
In a landmark judgement, a three-man panel of the Appeal Court on Thursday, upheld the judgement of the Edo State Governorship Tribunal that earlier affirmed the victory of Governor Okpebholo in the September 21, 2024, governorship election.
Reacting to the development, the APC, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, Esq., lauded the judiciary over the judgement and urged the opposition party candidate to sheath his sword.
“Our great Party applauds the judiciary for its display of independence and professionalism in its decision, again, affirming the will of the good people of Edo State,” Morka said.
“We are confident that this victory will serve as a fillip for the Governor, whose transformational leadership is resonating across the state, to double down on delivering the dividends of democracy to Edo people.
“We urge the People Democratic Party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo, to shealth his sword, and join the Governor in his unyielding efforts to bring meaningful development to the state, for the good of all,” the statement added.
